To all whom-it may concern:

Be it known that I, FRANCIS J. REILLY, a subject of the King of Great Britain and a residentof the city of Neiv 'York, borough of Manhattan, in the county andrstate of New York, have invented a new and improved Pencil-Sharpener Clip, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description. 1

This invention relates to pencil sharpenmg devices and particularly to an improved combinationclip and sharpening device.

The object in view isv to provide a clip and sharpening device especiallly adapted for sharpening the lead used in a magazine lead pencil. 3

Another object in view is to provide a clip for a pencil using a removable lead in which the clip will act in the double capacity of a clipfor holding the pencil body in position in the pocket and as a sharpening member for the lead when removed from the pencil body, the sharpener acting as a I rounded end for the clip.

' or sharpener end In the accompanying drawing Figure 1 is a plan view ofa pencil with a clip embodying the invention shown applied thereto.

Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the clip shown in Fig. 1.

Fig. 3 is an edge view of the lower part 2, the samebeing shown on an. enlarged scale. p p

Referrin to the-accompanying drawing by numera s, -1 indicates the pencil body having the lead 2 held in place by suitable mechanism in the lower end 3 of the body 1, the particular construction of pencil body and mechanism-at end 3 not forming any Part of the invention; Arranged; on the body 1 i523, clip 4 which is provided with into a coiled end 8.

encircling arms 5 and 6 and a'downwardly extending tongiie 7 -,wh1ch merges into a sharpener 8. "It is evident that the upper shown inithe drawing, as for instance, by being formed straight and riveted or secured to the body 1 in some other manner.- As far as the present invention is concerned the clip could be made in provided some sort of a 7 is produced merging The extreme end of the is formed into coil 8 is any suitable shape clamping tongue -tongue 7 before it of the. clip shown in Fig,

wh ch is secured to t1on at one end and is provided with a pensharpened or provided with a bevel 9whereby an edgelO' is produced, edge 10 being at an'angle so that when the parts are coiled for producing coil 8 a tapering socket will be the-result with the edge .10 arranged on an angle for acting on the lead2 when positioned as shown in dotted lines in Fig. 1.

Whenever the lead 2 same may be removed and placed into thesharpening device, namely, in coil 8, and rotated for a few times, whereupon the edge 10 will act on the lead point. It will be observed merges into the body of tongue 7 andproduces a'rounded contact portion 11 while the coil itself is an enlargement, thereby producing an end to the tongue which will readily slip over the pocket when applying the clip to the pocket.
